Well, hello again. Due to some minor errors, I have made a decision that I would re-make my story. For that I am very sorry for any inconvenience. And I'm sorry if there's any grammar errors. English isn't my main option.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Naruto. I only own some of the story plot and further changes about the characters.

Now, shall we begin? ;)

Sakura's POV

7:00am.

I opened my eyes and checked my phone under my pilow.

No text messages.

No missed calls.

None.

I sighed. Probably he still needs more time to rest his mind.

Then I closed my eyes once again.

Sakura's flashback (normal POV)

Sakura saw Pein sitting on the bench, looking down on his knees. She then went running towards him with her sweetest and priceless smile that was only meant for Pein.

"Pein-kun.." she called out to him.

Pein looked up to see his beautiful princess with her smile in front of him. He didn't smiled back. Instead, he keeps on looking down at his knees. Sakura was puzzled by his reaction. Usually he would go to her and gives her a big hug or even if he's troubled he would only smile back at her. But this time he didn't do both of it. There was something really wrong.

"Pein?" the pinkette called his name again only ended up being ignored by him.

Sakura sat down beside him. She looked at him, questioning herself about something she has done that has made him seem this upset.

After some minutes, Pein has made up his mind to speak.

"Sakura..." he called.

"I think we should discuss about our relationship.." he continued, without looking at his pinkette.

Sakura seems speechless.

'Discuss? Our relationship? Don't tell me that he wants to break up with me?'

"Tell me.. Are you happy with me?" Pein asked, now looking at the pinkette's face.

"O-of course I'm happy with you! Why shouldn't I?" Sakura pointed out.

"Hmm.. That's good to hear. I am too, Sakura-chan," he said, assuring her.

"But, there's something bugging me right now.. I don't know what, but.. I think.." he paused for a moment.

Again, the pinkette seems speechless.

"I think I just need some time to be alone..." he stated on, looking away from his loved pinkette.

He knew this was going to be hurt for her. But due to his problems that he's having, he doesn't have much choice but to really be honest to her. He had always loved her and making her happy was all that he wanted to do. Even now he had thought that Sakura will eventually cry upon hearing his words. He closed his eyes and stood, not wanting to see his princess cry.

"O-oh... okay then," she replied, trying to force herself to smile.

Pein nodded and left the pinkette alone with a whisper that only he himself could hear.

"I'm sorry,"

After Pein had left her for some time, she looked down to her knees as tears came down rolling on her cheeks.

Present time (Sakura's POV)

It has been a month now since it happened. I opened my eyes slowly and looked at the alarm clock.

7:15am.

Somehow I managed to register the digits on the alarm clock. For any minute now, he will be out there, knocking like hell on the door.

"Saaaaaakura!"

I was right. I closed my eyes and smirked. Damn if he keeps up knocking my door like that, it will break off its hinges.

"Saaakura! Wake the hell up! It's not proper for a young lady to wake up late!"

I opened my eyes and gets off from my bed.

"Yeah, yeah! Be there in awhile," I shouted out to him.

"You'd better be, or else! You know I hate waiting!" he shot back.

I bit my lips. Screw him. I had always hated his "or else". Last time he did that was when I got up a little later than usual. He hid his anger by giving this creepy lopsided smile at me and kept on harassing me by whispering nasty things on my ears.

"Whatever!"

And so I grabbed my towel and dashed to the bathroom.

Normal POV

Sakura came down after 30 minutes or more dreesed up in her school uniform with her bag on her shoulder. A red head was seen sitting on the diner, preparing breakfast for the two of them. Sakura scan her surrounding. There was no sight of her mother, or even her father.

"Sasori-niisan, where's mom and dad?" she asked as she sat down beside the red head.

"Business trip. Won't be back after a week," he said with his bored tone.

Sakura nodded. Sasori then offered her a piece of sandwich he prepared earlier.

"Eat up. We'll get going after this," he said as he cleans up on the sink and went upstairs to take his bag.

The pinkette munched the sandwich while waiting his older step-brother, Sasori. The red head came down after some minute dressed up in his senior blazer and bag held up on the back of his shoulder.

"So, how do I looked like?" he asked the pinkette, feeling oh-so-cool wearing his senior attire for the first time.

It was their first day of school with Sasori being a senior and Sakura being a junior.

"Cute," she said in a sarcastic tone.

"Likewise, pinky," he shot back, earning a smirk from the pinkette.

Sasori grabbed the car keys and set out with Sakura to school.

7:55am.

A red lamborghini aventador with a plate carved "Haruno VIP" was seen passing through the school gate. The students that were passing by eyed the car as it turned to a parking lot. As the red fancy sports car settled to its parking lot, the left front car door opened revealing a pink-haired girl inside it. The pinkette stepped her left leg out of the car and gets off the car with Sasori simultaneously.

"It's the step siblings," murmured everyone as they made their way up to the principal's office.

Sasori knocked the door two times while Sakura stood still behind him.

"Come in," called out a voice inside the office.

Sasori and Sakura do as told and entered the office.

"I'm sorry, the principal isn't here for a moment now. She has some business to settle with. But, I'll be in charge until further notice. I'm Shizune, Tsunade-sama's right hand," stated the lady, Shizune.

"Is there anything I can help?" offered her.

"We're here to take this year's schedule, Miss Shizune," told the red head.

"Oh, I see. State your name and your year, if you may," as she searches in the files drawer.

"Akasuna Sasori, senior year,"

After awhile, Shizune has found the senior's schedules and took one of it to give it to the red head. Sasori took the paper. The lady then looked at Sakura, waiting for the pinkette's response.

"U-uh, Haruno Sakura, junior year,"

Shizune then took a piece of paper, which was a junior's schedule and handed it to the pinkette.

"Arigato, Miss Shizune," she said with a smile.

Shizune nodded.

"Are you both couples?" Shizune playfully asks, observing the two.

Sakura was taken aback by the statement made by Shizune. Sasori just stood there, indifferent.

"N-no.. we're actually siblings," Sakura said it out.

"Huh, siblings? But both of your family names are different," replied Shizune.

"Step-siblings to be corrected," Sasori pointed out.

"Oh, I see. My apologies, Mr. Akasuna and Ms. Haruno," chuckled her, awkwardly.

The two step-siblings nodded and left the office.

8.00am.

Sasori and Sakura were rummaging their locker when a long light-blonde girl stood behind the pinkette, eyeing her suspiciously.

"Billboard Brows," called out the light-blonde to Sakura.

Sakura snapped upon hearing the voice that was so similar to her. She then turns around.

"Ino-pig," she shot back.

Sasori turned around and watches as the two girls met with each other.

"What did you just called me, Billboard Brows?" she glared at the pinkette.

"You heard me, I-no-pig," she repeated herself with her sing-a-song voice.

The two girls shot killer glares with each other. Tense was rising up on the air. But it suddenly stopped as the two shriek and hugged each other.

"I've missed you so much, Sakura-chan! Where have you been?" Ino said, hugging Sakura to death.

Sakura gasped.

"C-can't.. breathe.."

"Hey, let go of her! What are you trying to do, hug her to death, yeah?" called out another blonde, a long haired male, who happened to be Ino's older brother.

Hearing the words, Ino let go of the pinkette and the pinkette desperately trying to gasp more air into her lungs.

"Haven't seen you for awhile, Deidara," the red head finally spoke out.

Deidara turned his face to Sasori's position and smirked.

"Sasori no Danna, looking good. How's life?" he casually smacked Sasori's shoulder.

"It's been the same," said Sasori.

"Well now, since both of you met and went lovey-dovey with each other, why don't we both meet up with our friends, ne Sakura-chan?" Ino said sarcastically to her brother and pulled Sakura to her.

"Tch.. likewise lil sis. Let's get going, Danna. I can't wait to meet up with the rest," Deidara said with a smirk and started to walk away.

As Sasori started to walk behind Deidara, Sakura grabbed his hand. He then stopped for awhile and turned to his little step-sister.

"Send my regards to him, okay?" she said with her unsure smile.

Sasori nodded and Sakura let go of his hand. As Sakura turned to walk the opposite way, Sasori stopped walking.

"Forget about him. I've seen enough of your fake smiles, Sakura,"

Sakura snapped. Sasori walked on after he finished his statement.

'Forget about him? How.. can I?'

Simple. Just go and get a new guy. Her Inner Sakura stated out.

'Great. You again..'

Hi ya! Nice to see you again. She chuckled sarcastically.

'Tch..'

"Saaakura-chan! What are you waiting for? Hurry up!" waved Ino from the distant.

Sakura went back to reality and went on her way to Ino. But her head was still echoed by Sasori's words.

"Forget about him. I've seen enough of your fake smiles, Sakura,"

Sooo, how did it went? Was it any good? Send me some good reviews. I need some motivations to the very least to help me continue this. So, pwease review :p
